Same symptom with require("posix"):

========================================
slitt@mydesk:~/ulua/program$ ./test.lua
/usr/bin/lua: ./test.lua:2: module 'posix' not found:
        no field package.preload['posix']
        no file './posix.lua'

        ./test.lua:2: in main chunk
        [C]: ?
slitt@mydesk:~/ulua/program$ 
========================================

So I'll probably just do it in C.

Thanks
